To evaluate the impact of long-term fructose and high-fat intake on the onset of type 2 diabetes as well as related hepatic and vascular complications.
Rats were fed a normal diet, high-fat diet (HFD), high-fructose beverages (HF), or a combination of both (HFHF) for up to 8 months.
Evaluated metabolic markers (body weight, fasting glucose, C-peptide, HOMA2-IR, leptin, cholesterol), oxidative stress (plasma lipid peroxidation, antioxidant capacity, ROS labelling), liver histology, and mesenteric artery endothelial function.
By 2 months, HFD and HFHF significantly elevated body weight, leptin, HOMA2-IR, steatosis, and oxidative stress, whereas HF alone caused only transient leptin and C-peptide elevations.
Only the HFHF diet produced fasting hyperglycemia after 6 months, progressing by 8 months to persistent hyperinsulinemia, fasting hyperglycemia, and advanced steatosis with inflammation and fibrosis.
Both HFHF and HFD regimens induced mesenteric endothelial dysfunction after 8 months of dietary exposure.
